Norwich police on Monday night arrested a man on heroin charges, the department said in a press release.

Milton Ramon, 37, no certain address, was arrested on charges of possession of heroin, possession of heroin with intent to sell and operating a drug factory.

Authorities said Ramon’s arrest came as the result of a “months-long” investigation into heroin trafficking in Norwich and the surrounding areas.

Police seized one ounce of raw heroin with an estimated street value of $5,000, a 2010 Toyota Corolla and $1,600 cash. The investigation also included the execution of a search and seizure warrant at an area hotel, where Ramon is believed to have packaged the drug for street sale.

He was held on $100,000 bond pending arraignment in Norwich Superior Court on Tuesday.
